It was the time when the gods hid in the trees, the demons in the storms, the geniuses at the bottom of the backwaters. Spirits, seizing all life when they wanted, roamed the forests, savannahs and fire-breathing mountains. It was the time of dread, fear and horror when man did not know how to be forgiven for an original fault of which he knew nothing. One day, man invented fetishes and masks; the mask danced, the fetish spoke to the gods, to the spirits, to the geniuses. They interceded for man with the forces of good and evil and balance was established on Earth. This book is a journey and a discovery. Olivier Martel, in the 1990s, traveled through Agni country, in the south-east of the Ivory Coast, a kingdom of fetishes and animist high priestesses: the Comians. These women in trances who know the world of exuberant and primitive nature, but also the supernatural, the secrets, the mysteries, the geniuses and the gods, teach us a great lesson. While we are rediscovering ecology, the new-age, alternative medicine and spirituality and we are in a desperate search for roots and landmarks, here are women, coming from the depths of time, showing us that in the middle of the African forest, these values have always been preserved.
